Marvel Rivals Season 10.5 Roadmap Breakdown: New Game Modes, Skins, Events, and More

Season 10.5 is bringing a rather busy few weeks to Marvel Rivals. While there will not be a new hero joining the roster this time, NetEase has announced two new game modes (one PvE and the other PvP), several events, Event Passes, and a sizeable lineup of costumes for the weeks that lie ahead.

The update begins on Friday, October 9, with the next phase of Path to Doomsday, before moving into Halloween content and more releases in November. Here’s everything that is officially confirmed to be coming in Marvel Rivals Season 10.5.

Marvel Rivals Season 10.5: October 9 Content Drop

The Season 10.5 update kicks off on October 9, and it introduces the new Path to Doomsday: Avengers: Infinity War game mode, alongside the first Season 10.5 Event Pass, three new costumes, and a few smaller additions for players to pick up.

Here’s everything arriving on October 9:

• Season 10.5 balance update (check our breakdown here)
• New PvP mode: Path to Doomsday: Avengers: Infinity War
• New Event Pass: Infinity Finale (MCU skins for Black Panther, Doctor Strange, and Thor)
• New limited-time costume: Devil Dinosaur (Skele-Saurus)
• New limited-time costume: Blade (Vampire King)
• New costume: Cyclops (Phoenix Cyclops)
• New accessory: Infinity Gauntlet
• New lore: Thor and Spider-Man
• New map: Alchemax Headquarters for 18v18
• New Twitch Drops: Angela (Will of Galacta)
• New Gold-tier rank reward: Jeff the Land Shark (Razor-Tooth)

As revealed in the latest Dev Vision video, the new Avengers: Infinity War mode puts 12 players into six pairs, with two duos facing off each round for control of the Infinity Stones. The goal is simple enough: collect all six Stones before the other team does. It will be available from October 9 through December 11.

The Infinity Finale event also begins on October 9, and it is confirmed to be an Event Pass. Like the game’s other Event Passes, players can progress through its reward tracks simply by playing matches, with a free track and a premium track available. Thor’s The Avengers costume is the free skin this time around, while the premium track lets players unlock new costumes for Doctor Strange and Black Panther.

The cosmetic lineup also gets three new additions at the S10.5 launch, with Devil Dinosaur’s Skele-Saurus and Blade’s Vampire King available for a limited time, while Cyclops gets the Phoenix Cyclops costume. There is also an Infinity Gauntlet accessory, new Thor and Spider-Man lore, and Angela’s Will of Galacta costume through the new Twitch Drops (via NetEase).

Marvel Rivals Season 10.5: October 16 Content Drop

The main Halloween content starts rolling in on October 16, with three new costumes arriving alongside the All Hallows’ Glow event. Invisible Woman, Mister Fantastic, and Deadpool are all getting spooky season looks, although NetEase has yet to confirm how each costume will be distributed.

Here’s everything arriving on October 16:

• New Event Pass: All Hallows’ Glow (Halloween skins for Rocket Raccoon, Scarlet Witch, Hela)
• New costume: Invisible Woman (Fate Witches)
• New costume: Mister Fantastic (Midnight Monsters)
• New costume: Deadpool (Midnight Monsters)

All Hallows’ Glow is expected to follow the Event Pass format, giving players another reward track to work through by playing matches. The roadmap teases Halloween-themed costumes for Rocket Raccoon, Scarlet Witch, and Hela, although the exact free and premium rewards have not been confirmed yet.

The three other costumes could be a mix of releases via the standard Store and Pop & Win, which uses a gacha-style system. NetEase has not said which of the three will use either format, so there is no point guessing until those details are announced.

Marvel Rivals Season 10.5: October 23 Content Drop

October 23 brings what is probably the biggest gameplay addition of Season 10.5, with Path to Doomsday: Avengers: Endgame introducing a 50-player PvE mode. Players will team up against Thanos and his forces, making this one of the largest and most unprecedented game modes for what is a 6v6 hero shooter at its core.

Here’s everything arriving on October 23:

• New PvE mode: Path to Doomsday: Avengers: Endgame
• New costume: Black Cat (Fate Witches)
• New costume: Elsa Bloodstone (Midnight Monsters)
• New costume: Jeff the Land Shark (Sharknos)

The 50-player mode is easily the star of this week’s drop. NetEase has experimented with different team sizes and PvE modes before, but putting 50 players into a battle against Thanos is a pretty wild step up. It should also give the overarching Path to Doomsday storyline a fittingly large-scale final act.

The costumes are a little more Halloween-focused, with Black Cat joining the Fate Witches theme and Elsa Bloodstone getting a Midnight Monsters look. Then there is the “Sharknos” skin, which turns Jeff the Land Shark into a tiny, adorable version of Thanos, complete with the Mad Titan’s signature look. Turning one of the game’s cutest characters into Thanos is exactly the kind of nonsense that only Marvel Rivals can get away with.

Marvel Rivals Season 10.5: October 30 Content Drop

October 30 brings another crossover to Marvel Rivals, this time with Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. It is the game’s first collaboration with Arc System Works’ new tag fighter, with the roadmap teasing two new crossover costumes alongside another Celestial Messenger skin.

Here’s everything arriving on October 30:

• New collaboration: Marvel Rivals x Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls
• New costume: Winter Soldier (Celestial Messenger)
• New event: Halloween: Night of Illusions

NetEase has only shown silhouettes of the two Marvel Tokon costumes for now, but the characters are all but confirmed to be Storm and Iron Man:

Bucky also joins the Celestial Messenger collection with his own cosmic-themed costume on the same date. The devs have not yet confirmed whether these three costumes will be standard Store releases or Pop & Win rewards.

Halloween: Night of Illusions also begins on October 30, adding another Halloween-themed activity to the latter half of Season 10.5. With that, the roadmap moves into its final scheduled cosmetic drop before Season 11 begins on November 13.

Marvel Rivals Season 10.5: November 6 Content Drop

This is the final scheduled content drop before Season 11 arrives on November 6, bringing two more costumes to the game. Spider-Man joins the “Worthy” collection, while The Thing gets a rather unexpected cosmic chef makeover.

Here’s everything arriving on November 6:

• New costume: Spider-Man (Worthy Spider-Man)
• New costume: The Thing (Cosmic Cook)

Spider-Man’s Worthy Spider-Man costume continues the collection of designs inspired by Marvel’s wider lore, while The Thing’s Cosmic Cook is yet another playful take on the hero. NetEase has not announced any additional event or game mode for this date, so this one will be more of a winding-down final drop before the next season begins.

Marvel Rivals November 13 Update: Season 11 Goes Live

Season 11 is set to begin on November 13, and while NetEase has yet to reveal its two new heroes, the final gallery card of the season may have already given us a pretty big clue about at least one of them. As dataminer X0XLEAK points out, the card shows Moon Girl holding a sword that looks quite similar to the ones wielded by Nightcrawler in Marvel’s comics.

Besides that, the game’s universe also seems to be dealing with incursions now, the reality-colliding events that we know are at the center of the Avengers: Doomsday storyline. That could eventually bring Doctor Doom back into the spotlight, especially considering how closely the character has been tied to Marvel Rivals since launch.

Doctor Doom‘s involvement is still speculation for now, though. NetEase has confirmed that two heroes are coming with Season 11, but it has not revealed their identities. With the game continuing its Path to Doomsday storyline and the biggest Hollywood movie after Avengers: Endgame also on the horizon, it may not be long before we find out who is actually behind these latest teases.
